love it!
When I first stumbled across this movie I thought it would just be another low budget bad acting queer flick. Then I saw one of the guys in the trailer and thought he was cute so I decided to watch and fast forward to the nude scenes (I know I'm a total perv)! Anyway I was about to start skipping through it when I actually started watching the movie and this movie has a lot of heart! I was impressed its cute and sensual without being overly pornographic which would of taken away from the story. There is no real sex scene which at first I was bummed but then realized it just left me wanting more. Its a cute story about childhood love a great date movie. You'll love it!
Fine line between "bromance" and romance ...
Diego and Sebastian are two young men who had been good friends when they were young boys, but had not seen each other in some time. There is an immediate sexual tension between the very shy Diego, who lives with his alcoholic mother, and the more outgoing (and experienced) Sebastian, as they get reacquainted during a lazy summer. Diego is strongly attracted to his friend, and thinks the feeling is mutual, but is too shy to really act on his feelings, despite several opportunities. Adding a bit of surreal help is Diego's hallucination of a sexy TV pitch-woman, with a hunky male assistant, who periodically appears to him and urges him to act on his feelings and "enjoy life."
Featured at several gay and international film festivals, this film from Chile is an engaging tale of sexual awakening, in the hands of a capable director, photographer and attractive, talented young cast members. Explores the often fine line between "bromance" and romance, as well as different shades...
Beautiful film about the angst and sexual ambivalence of adolescence
Chilean film that does a really good job capturing the angst and sexual ambivalence of adolescence with some interesting fantasy elements thrown in along the way. Only complaint is the subtitles, which were clearly written by a non-idiomatic English speaker and are sometimes unintentionally comical.
